we paid for the service already, why should we tip? its not required. really.
Tipping is never required unless you have a large party at a restaurant. If you don't have a conscience or care about the fact that drivers are literally destroying their cars so you don't have to, then don't tip. Be that person.
People go to restaurants and tip $20+ on large tabs. But delivery drivers who are actually using their own vehicles and gas rarely get over $10 for large orders. I'll never understand why people hate delivery drivers so much.

It's just something people have to learn. Like UPS and FedEx. We don't tip them. I personally think the entire tipping process here in the US is stupid. I wish we didn't have that routine here. Make us pay a little more to give the workers a fair wage. Most countries do this.
Now I do tip for restaurants where there is a waiter and deliveries like this. I just think we have gotten to everyone deserves a tip. Go pickup a Starbucks, there's a tip jar. Seen several fast food places that put the buckets out. I mean come on.

who hates delivery drivers? we cheap slickdealers hate tipping. not the drivers. delivery isnt free for us. we have to purchase certain amount or pay for delivery fees. but then tips on top of it? let the rich owners pay them. we are the poor little guys.
tipping is our culture. i agree. but dont use it as an excuse "so we can charge lower prices on our menu". that doesnt make any sense. ive traveled all over places, america is one of the few countries that asking for tips. but they charge highest on food/restaurant chains at the tourist/popular famous areas. some countries even consider tipping as an insulting. they mark up their food 2x or sometimes 4x but cant even pay minimum wage for their waiters/waitresses?
Has anyone who has prime and W+ found the W+ to be better than prime? It's nice that there's competition for amazon, but it also gets costly if you don't use both regularly (which we don't at this point).
I think amazon is still light years ahead of walmart+ because I get awesome stuff like paid surveys to see new shows, great prices for prime only members and lots of other stuff. To me my prime membership is pretty much free.
Having said that I actually really like my Walmart plus because many times they actually deliver certain items the same day and I like the food delivery service. Plus its just great having no minimum for free shipping, i hated having to buy something extra to get that free shipping. I will keep using them.

Are you speaking from the perspective that people should get higher tips? I would personally like more clarity on this statement.
yes. at least 10%. people served you on a $100 worth of food. thats like a group of 3 people unless you just spend $100 on an expensive piece of steak. thats not really an avg meal. thats a luxury meal and only $8 in tips? if you cant afford that much tips, dont spend on expensive meals. just stop by any fastfood chains.
Shouldn't we start tipping Walmart cashiers? At least they provide personal interaction.
Tipping has to go. Money isn't magically generated. Raise prices. Raise wages. Get rid of the damn ridiculousness.
The exact same money changes hands in the end and service quality won't suffer. In all liklihood it'll become more pleasant for everyone. No wondering for a server/delivery person how big a tip (or not) they'll get. No sighs from the customer figuring out what is appropriate to leave.
If a server needs 'incentive' to do a job, fire them and hire one that will do a good job. This is how it works in just about every other job in the world.

Devil's advocate...
If you go to a fancy restaurant and dump $1000...why does that server deserve $200 over the guy at Denny's who only gets $20 on $100 for the exact same effort?

so he only deserved a $8 tip for serving that $1000 meal?

It does not save at all, its not worth it . the plus on walmart is the delivery tip
So every delivery you give a tip
